zabbix Zabbix agents for Solaris 10ZABBIX is an enterprise-class open source distributed monitoring solution. I use it at work and I like it very much. Today I needed the Zabbix Agent for Solaris10 for Intel and, as I still use version 1.4, I downloaded the precompiled agents binaries from Zabbix site. I’m writing this post because I found a problem!

The precompiled binaries fails to run with the following message:

ld.so.1: zabbix_agentd: fatal: libresolv.so.2: version `SUNW_2.3′ not found (required by file zabbix_agentd)
ld.so.1: zabbix_agentd: fatal: libresolv.so.2: open failed: No such file or directory
Killed

Running the ldd on the zabbix_agentd will reveal the problem:

ldd /export/home/zabbix/bin/zabbix_agentd
libkvm.so.1 =>   /usr/lib/libkvm.so.1
libm.so.2 =>     /lib/libm.so.2
libresolv.so.2 =>        /lib/libresolv.so.2
libresolv.so.2 (SUNW_2.3) =>     (version not found)
libnsl.so.1 =>   /lib/libnsl.so.1
libkstat.so.1 =>         /lib/libkstat.so.1
libsocket.so.1 =>        /lib/libsocket.so.1
libc.so.1 =>     /lib/libc.so.1
libelf.so.1 =>   /lib/libelf.so.1
libmp.so.2 =>    /lib/libmp.so.2
libmd.so.1 =>    /lib/libmd.so.1
libscf.so.1 =>   /lib/libscf.so.1
libdoor.so.1 =>  /lib/libdoor.so.1
libuutil.so.1 =>         /lib/libuutil.so.1
libgen.so.1 =>   /lib/libgen.so.1

libresolv.so.2 (SUNW_2.3) is not bundled in Solaris10 but in Nevada (aka Solaris11): so the precompiled binaries were not built on Solaris10 but on Opensolaris. To overcome this problem I downloaded the Zabbix 1.4.6 sources and I compiled the agents with Sun Studio 12.

Here are my own binaries:

Use at your own risk and… enjoy!

    great post!

    I currently use zabbix to monitor a really large environment (more than 320 servers)

    I’ve founded a wonderful plugin that is more than a plugin and the others monitoring systems don’t have nothing of similar, and nothing that go inside oracle so deeply.

    In the hope that someone found useful my comment

    http://www.smartmarmot.com

    here you are going to find Orabbix opensource and released under GPL3

    Hi,

    as soon as possible I’ll try Smart Marmot on my own environment: I have 18 Oracle DBs to manage and I actually use zabora to monitor them via zabbix.
    I’ll make a post on my findings: many thanks for your work.

    Bye

    Interesante post, hay un artículo bastante completo sobre el proceso de instalación de zabbix con oracle, creo que puede resultar de utilidad, el artículo se llama:
    Instalación y Configuración de Zabbix 1.8.x – Oracle 10gR2 – OEL 5.x (CentOS 5.x – Red Hat 5.x)
    y está en la url:
